Middle Names.
Good housekeeping.

l heard a long argument once which
went to prove that every father who DID
not give his son a middle name was great
ly in error. Said the long winded speaker;
1T doesn't matter about girls-giris
marry and take another name-but every
man, to amount to anything, should have
a middle letter, and it's mean if his father
doesn't give him one. Think OF James
Brown running for Congress! He'd stand q
40 per cent. better chance if his name hap
pened to be James K. Brown.
After he had had his say" and it did
seem for a minute rs if he had the right on
his side, a large man in the corner arose for
information with regard to Henry Clay,
and Daniel Webster, and Charles Sumner,
and Washington Irving, and John Adams,
not to mention the immortal George or
Honest Abe" or aver the present ineum-
bent OF the White House, and to say moth
ing OF Napoleon B~onaparte. The conclu-
sion Of she whole matter seems to be, after
all, that our names for good or bad are
Shat We make them.
